• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't know exactly where I should put this post so I put it here in General Theology.  I am currently in another debate on another forum and someone there posted this:

God is omnipotent, he knows past, present and future. He knew man would become evil before giving us free will. Then he corrected himself. That is a contradiction. Why did god have to correct a problem he already knew existed, before it happened?

I don't know how to come back on this.  (The debate is about contradictions in the Bible)

Please Help!! :help:

Well could God have a reason to let the problem occur even though He knew it would happen and then have to correct the problem? I think so.  Could the letting the problem happen and then the correction of the problem be a part of His overall plan?  I am not saying that sin is His moral will but that God in His sowereign will allowed man to sin although He could of stopped it.  And I am saying that He did this instead of stopping it for a reason.  I do not see how that contradicts anything.
